My name is Lori Lynn Sykas and I am the owner of Arlington Healing Arts Center.

I have lived in Arlington since 1986, with my 2 children who grew up in Arlington. I have been very involved in my community through groups like Rotary and Chamber of Commerce.

I am a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association. (AMTA)

I grew up in the Seattle area. After graduating from high school, I became a white water river guide and during my weekends I worked on many of the rivers in Washington State. It was during these weekends that many of my friends would sit in front of me around the campfire and ask me for a shoulder rub. This is where my love of massage began!

Then in 2000 after two lay-offs and three career changes, I decided to go to Ashmead School of Massage in Everett. I graduated with honors in November 2001 with professional training in massage therapy. Since then I have focused my career on clinical massage, helping people find relief from lower back pain and headaches, assisting patients with shoulder injury rehabilitation, and providing general well being therapy.

In 2007 I experienced a back injury of my own, ending my 26-year career in river rafting. So I understand the scope of pain that people experience and how important it is to provide compassion for these debilitating injuries.
